nooper says politics arked by dissention
by Super Snooper What will undoubtedly be one of the most uninteresting tudent body elections in Trojan history is now taking shape mong the selected few who call themselves the politicians. ~he situation i» increased by not only the lack of students ligible, but by the few students who are on campus as well.
ndividuality tends to \e the key-
-Editorializing-
World s worst sports?
SC might well do a little conscientious blushing this week and a little serious thinking about its football team, too, for a finer display of poor school spirit and Trojan indifference has seldom been so obvious as it was at Friday night’s opening football rally and at Saturdays game.
When it gets to the point that boasters of last year’s Rose Bowl champions can’t see their way clear to wait a couple of minutes while the SC band assembles to play the Alma Mater, something should really be done. Before an audience of indifferent spectators Friday night, Yell King Bob Thompson, the SC band, and Paul Martin’s orchestra made what might be termed a noble effort to inject a little Trojan spirit into a group of so-called Trojans who wandered in and out of the audit-^ium at will.
Maybe SC is proud of the backing they gave the team for this first game. Maybe they are proud of the blase attitude they have expressed, and maybe they feel it beneath their dignity to let loose and give a cheer for Troy and for their team. We are not proud, and we don’t think that we have anything to be proud of. As a matter of fact, we don’t think that SC deserved to win that game Saturday if this is any indication of the interest in the Trojan grid season.
Let’s continue this fine display of indifference and lack of school spirit. Let’s make it a point to stay away from rallies and be sure that we walk out of the rooting section as soon as the final gun sounds. Let’s show these other colleges and universities that we don’t give a hang about our team, and maybe we can lose all our games that way.

IR group fetes Chinese bishop
,ote of the political dickerings of he two dozen men and women presenting the organizations which eel that they have an interest in ^ho is elected.
Since the appearance of the SS Jin Monday, a gap big enough to £rive a regiment’through hf>s ap-;ared in the ranks of the politicly elite, ■with two sides already crming up to back a candidate.
The Phi Sigs. backed by the eagerest of beavers, Bob Tapp, displayed its intentions to withdraw from what is mistakenly called TNE. Tapp for many months ha? planned the coup which would put him in the position to bargain for fraternity support. His plan, fostered by the amented Tyler McDonald, who once told the Phi Sigs pride and y that he would make him “The at student body president,” has go ne slightly awry in recent weeks.
Tapp, apparently hoping to re-
main friends with not only the boys, but to obtain a modicrum of support from thc KA contingent, has succeeded in alienating his friendship on both hands. Tapp, far from being a poor candidate for the student body presidency, would find much favor with both groups n:ere it not for his seeming douhled-facedness.
The real dissention, however, in political circles is appearing in the SAE house where Ralph “The Obstinate” Peters is being needled by his boys to pull out of the TNE machine and back Lee Scott on their own. Pete, himself, has fostered political ambitions which at one time included the presidency, but these hopes were dashed by the failure of the scholarship committee of the senate to convince the administration that a 1.3 was a sufficiently high cumulative for student body officers.
